Poisonous place to work
If you want to be let go by controlling management and bullied then this is the place to work. Absolute poisonous place to work. Bullying which starts from management down and they do nothing when you report it. Huge turnover there . Either they fire you or you leave. Have never ever worked in a toxic place such as this. Job security is non existent . Your just a number.

Don't do it
I became friends with a client and got let go because of it, management says they care but, when there are problems with co- workers, they sweep them under the table and nothing is done.
Ex: one person calling another person names and getting bullied, nothing done. You can't trust anyone there to talk to

Stay away, stay very away
Company feels greasy. Upper management feels even more greasy. If you're young and dumb, sign up and pray that you too will not be sued.
Extra work is expected to be unpaid. They cut costs by not paying their subs or employees.

11 March 2020I appreciate your perspective. Management positions do require some overtime occasionally and are compensated to reflect the additional work load. We strive to provide a safe and positive work environment for all our employees. Our top priority is our team members.
Racist
Only couple employees know what exactly they doing. External politics. Bullies. Communication is poor, people are good on pointing fingers. To much paper works
Would not recommend. Cronies well looked after, not qualified
Upper management constantly being fired or quitting and moving on. They preach having an excellent work based culture, it's like being dropped into a shark tank. Many of the upper management are hypocritical and will lie to you without hesitation. COO, President, Executive VP, Regional Managers, usually hired and fired within 1 to 2 years.
Awesome place to work and grow!
I’m so glad I made the move to FirstOnSite- there is so much support from coworkers to help new people. Good pay, great benefits, lots of training opportunities, and so much respect for individual and team contributions.
So glad and proud to be a part of this great team!

Excellent Opportunities
FirstOnSite sees the value and potential in its employees. I initially started out with the company almost a decade ago at an entry-level position brand new to the industry as a whole and have been able to grow my career with the company, which isn't something you see a lot of these days. In fact, there are several people I work with that have had the same experience. Overall work/life balance is great, though there are times where long hours are needed due to the nature of the business.
I would definitely recommend a career with this company.

Growing Company with a bright Future!
The company has made significant investment to provide the resources and to build capacity within the company to grow the business. It is a great place to be for those who want to make a difference and work hard with a positive purpose.
working for firstonsite was interesting
working at firstonsite was a learning experience every job you went to, there was a new challenge. The hardest thing about this job was the emergency work doing tier out work sometime in the very early morning, or cleaning up after a fire. With management, you were able to voice your concern about any problem you might in counter with a job and help solve it.
